Hello,

I'm looking for a general guide as to time of year and type of fertilizer,
for feeding all outdoor permanent shrubs, large and small trees, some
ornamental, plants and the lawns. I have some Dogwoods, ornamental fruit
trees, shade trees, azaleas, English Ivy, Pachysandra, Rhododendrons,
hollies, and other shrubs around the house. I live in the Louisville KY
area.

I was thinking I couldn't go seriously wrong just using a typical lawn
fertilizer for all the above and begin applying it within the next month.
For the trees, drive a metal 1 inch diameter pipe about a foot into the
ground outside the drip line and fill with the fertilizer.

Comments?

Thanks,
John
